Bingham thought he had gone through a long term or privation. On the fifteenth of October Prof. Bingham and Mr. Tucker were at tho summit of Coropuna mountain, having ascended to a height registered by their barometers of 22,500 feet above sea level. Coropuna mountain ranges 12 miles in length and is covered with snow for 5,000 feet from the summit.

But few white people have visited it, and until the scientists reached Peru Miss Annie Peck held the record for reaching the high est altitude. Before he left Prof. Bing-ham planted the Yale flag beside a brass cylinder containing the records of the ascent. Prof. Bingham said that In h's opinion the pre Inca tribes were superior to their descendants.

This conclusion was arrived at by him after he had reached a plateau 2,000 feet high, known as Macchu Pichu, the four sides of which are almost verti measured as much as 12 feet in length, eight in breadth and six in depth. The larger stones were at the top and the smaller ones at the base. Granite and not marble was used in the build ings and this disproves the statement of Pizzaro's followers. Sir Clarence Martin once wrote about Macchu Pichu, calling it the "Hill of the three-windowed temple." "The Peruvian government would not permit us to remove any of the ruins," said Prof. Bingham, "but tha: did not trouble us.

We were happy because we had found them. Goins up the mountain made us feel seasick, and we could not eat the food we took with us. We lived on tea most of the time, but suffered from thirst and lack of sleep. We had snow shoes with us and expectej to climb 2,000 feet a day, but the most we could do was 1,000 feet." And All Next Week. yNTOUCHED BY HAND OF TIME New York, Dec.

22 Successful their search for an ancient city of the Incas and for scientific data about t'Jae original rulers of Peru, four members of the Yale Peruvian expedition returned to New York yesterday aboard the United Fruit company's Iteamer Metapan, after an absence of (ix months. The returning scientists were Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yalti University, Isaiah Bowman, professor geology; Kai Hendriksen, topographer of the University of Copenhagen, and H. L. Tucker, an archae-ologlft.

The main objects of the expedition which left here on June 1, were to find remains of the pre-Inca tribes of Peru, explore the Urumbaba valley, scale mountains, and to discover "Thj City of white marble," so-called by tome of Pizzaro's men at the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru. They returned today with maps of hitherto Unexplored regions, photographs of the "lost" city and enough 'data for the lectures they will give and for the books that they will write about their Journey.

A native guide showed the explorers a goat path by which they made their climb. At the top were the ruins of an ancient city of 100 houses, built before the discovery of America and preserved as much as possible by descendants of the Incas. No white man had trod their silent streets before, and the hand of man has done nothing to disturb the solitude except in turning over the earth to raise a little corn.
